History[edit]
The Kwik-E-Mart headquarters is located in the Himalayas, in India, and Apu and Homer once traveled there to get Apu's job back.[1]
In the late 1970s, Apu graduated at the top of his class of seven million students at the Calcutta Technical Institute before traveling to the United States to pursue further studies. His family and child bride bid him farewell before his departure.[2]
The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant was temporarily outsourced to India and Homer became a supervisor for the plant in Bangalore. While there, he met Apu's cousin Kavi.[3]
To rescue a cow Bart raised, Apu shipped the cow by air to India since cows are sacred animals in the country.[4]
